I don't see the draw for these sets (other than the ships). They look pretty bland to me. In fact, it looks like they put more effort into the box covers to try to spruce up the sets and make them look more interesting.

Yeah I agree (hence the free poster gimic) although the minifigs are clearly the draw on them. It's just a jumbled mess of locations with no cohesiveness. It's not even like different pieces to a harbor so I'm having trouble loving them as an AFOL but I'm sure the kids will love it. On a side note, I really like the mermaids from Whitecap.

As a steadfast collector of only Lego Star Wars sets, I feel if I see the Queens Anne's Revenge at TRU's tonight I am not going to be able to resist buying it. I have always been fasinated by the tall sailing warships of days past. Also this set plays a role in history as Blackbeards (Edward Teach) flagship, so that equals out to be a very cool set indeed.

Great News! I was at my local TRU today in Thornton, CO and they had most of the POTC sets available. I was able to buy the 4185 Queen Anne's Revenge for $119.00 and 4182 Cannibal Escape at $29.99. They also had the 4193 The London Escape at $49.99, the 4183 The Mill at $39.99 and 4194 Whitecap Bay at $79.99. Good Luck!!

My TRU had these sets on the shelf today. I picked up the two cheapest sets because my son loves Jack Sparrow. I was also able to get a pack of the series 4 minifigs for free as part of their promotion this week.

My somewhat local TRU had them when I stopped lastnight there. They had all the sets, couldnt pull the trigger on the Revenge of Queen Anne. It was a pretty cool set, although I was hoping for a bit more detail.

My wife surprised me and brought home the Queen Anne's Revenge yesterday, I was going to take it back this weekend and take advantage of the buy 1 get one 50% off. So am I to understand that the Queen Anne's Revenge does not qualify for the deal?
